Lorad offers a unique combination of seamlessly integrated specialty materials manufacturing and product development expertise. We can manufacture materials to enable your research or drive your manufacturing opportunities. Our aim is to translate our success in materials manufacturing to successful and profitable business opportunities for our customers.
Lorad scientists are actively engaged in developing new processes and materials where nano-powders are required. This includes proprietary developments in precipitation routes, and new developments in flame assisted synthesis technology and materials. Some of the products under development include nano-powders for phosphors, ceramic materials applications, battery and fuel cell cathode materials.
The customer receives the precise product required, on time, and with a certificate of analysis. Behind the scenes, scientists, technicians, sales and administrative staff have worked in close collaboration to ensure the only acceptable result; a satisfied customer. Ultimately, quality is not what we say it is, it is what the customer says it is.
Lorads products are used by manufacturing businesses, universities and governmental research laboratories in many countries around the world. As the global demand for our products grow, we continue to adapt our operating systems to make it easier for our product partners to work with us to achieve their objectives in a cost-effective and timely manner.

Fuel Cell Materials
Lorad is able to offer custom synthesized fuel cell nano-powders in initial research and development quantities. Scale-up to commercial quantities can be facilitated upon request.

Powders are, typically, 100nm. Almost any customer defined composition can be achieved.

Phosphor for Blue LED to White Light Conversion
Lorad scientists have developed a modified cerium doped YAG phosphor that is an excellent candidate for the conversion of a 465nm emitting Blue LED to emit white light. Shown below, is a typical emission spectrum of the modified YAG when excited by 465nm emitting Blue LED.

Vanadium Dioxide Nanopowders
Vanadium oxides have been demonstrated to have many interesting and useful applications as battery cathode materials, (V6013, Ag2V4O11, LiV3O8 etc…all available from Lorad), in catalysis, sensors for gas detection, and in thin-film form in electro-optical devices. Recently, vanadium dioxide has attracted attention because two of its polymorphs exhibit a reversible conductor – insulator (semiconductor) transition at relatively low temperatures. In its pure form, the semiconducting (low electronic conductivity) monoclinic form switches to a metallic conducting tetragonal form at 66oC to 67oC. The reverse process occurs at about 61oC – 62oC.
